We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised form the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Romans 6:3-4 A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT They didn’t teach THIS at the seminary! Some tried and true ministry methods are not working this week. Grieve the past; allow the sadness you feel. What have you learned new in these crazy weeks? A new vocational adventure! WE’RE PRAYING FOR YOU “For past blessings through our former ways of ministering, we thank you, Lord. For new adventures of service, we pray your blessing, wisdom, creativity and strength. Amen.” RENEWAL MOMENT Take a deep breath. Exhale Slowly. “Lord, have mercy.” Thanksgiving for The Joy of New Ministry Challenges. MARKER OF WELLBEING: Vocational As I grow in God’s grace of Vocational GENTLENESS, I am finding joy in HUMILITY as I serve through my calling and gifts.
